Good morning all!
Yes, I am starting early this morning. There is much to be done on this crappy, rainy day! So, I’m sure everyone is excited to know that I have moved into the top 10 of my TV show countdown. So, here it is, # 10 on my countdown!
My Top TV Shows #10: The Mentalist
I’m not going to lie, this has been a hard countdown to place. I watch a lot, and probably too much television, so choosing a favorite show has been tough. Now, just because the Mentalist sits at 10 doesn’t mean that I like the shows above it substantially more. I love this show, there are just other shows that rank slightly higher on my scale. I guess, that could be said for every show until we actually get to #1.
Anyhoo, I think what draws me to this show is the main character, performed brilliantly by Simon Baker. He is just an average guy with exceptional observational skills. His cocky, yet serious at times, attitude is perfect for the character that he portrays. The guy has it down pat, and what is even more amazing is that Baker is not American; actually Australian, although you would never be able to tell that from his character on the show. (Ironically enough, this characteristic sits with another primary character from a show that will occur
later on this countdown.)
I always viewed The Mentalist as a cop show with a twist to it. Baker provides that “twist” that makes it so much more enjoyable, to me personally, than shows like CSI. Love him or hate him, you have to admit that the Patrick Jane is damn good at what he does on the show and is easily one of my favorite characters on TV.
